Pakistan’s popular martial artist Irfan Mehsood has achieved another milestone by adding his name in the Guinness Book of World Records for most push-ups in one minute.
According to the details, Irfan Mehsood breaks the Guinness World Record for most push-ups in one minute carrying a 100lb pack.
“I have been practicing wushu since 2005 and has now earned his third dan as a black belt. Through seeing videos of record holders and reading several editions of the Guinness World Records book, I started to get inspired and worked towards record titles of his own,” he told in an interview.
He said he prepares for four to five hours daily for every record he attempts until he feels he can break the one he’s aiming for.
